    I went back and checked the temp all over in several places..... reading was the same across the whole top plate which is great news..... it is a little bit dirty, so I'll be ordering something to clean that with. I increased my pressure and my next print turned out better than the one I did earlier. I did forget to mention that I was pressing at 400 for ( 60 seconds ). Not sure if the time is a factor or not.

     

    for my protection sheets, I use the paper backing that comes off of vinyl rolls...... would that affect anything??

    Some of my prints that I do on aluminum blanks have a splotchy look in the print...... hard to explain and I can't get a good picture to show at the moment...... but it's the most noticeable in black and red ink..... the prints look like it has clouds in it...... I use very high quality images..... and it's not every time. Not sure if I need to increase press or temp. I'm currently at a pressure of 1 on a Hix..... and temp of 400.

    Got a business owner wanting pics of kids roller skating. Single skaters type designs so that they can be individually cut and made into some sort of " merry - go round " thing for Christmas. I found a couple that I vectorized from online, but needing about 6 different ones if possible. Anybody got something they can share? Thanks

    Make you a circle....... then make a 2 point horizontal line as wide as the circle....... then highlight both, the circle and the line and click "control c' then control e..... that will center and even both objects together....... then use your smart fill tool and click on one half of the circle..... there are other ways as well, but just one quick way.

    I just upgraded my printer from SP 300 to the VP 300 a few weeks ago. I'm running into a problem as to where the width is perfect, but the length is coming up about 1/4" short on prints over 40" long....... I've changed the setting in VersaWorks to "Use Printer Settings" and on the printer menu itself ( calibration ), it's set to "0.00" ........ is there anything else I can try??

     

    Thanks

    Dollar an inch, 12" = $12 and based on experience I adjust accordingly. If the job is out of your way figure 1 hour of your time 20 there, 20 install, 20 back. For me if they were decent people to deal with I'd just shoot over when I had a free chance and tell them the first install is on the house, however if they are the type that you really don't want to deal with charge them the full hour at whatever your time is worth (usually $30 an hour here). Most important is business is to use your own judgement in these cases.

     Just curious, but what would the charge be if you had a single lie text at 3" tall and 40" long?:huh: No install, just made from 651 vinyl. Thanks
